Resident Evil 2 Remake release date announced in grisly first trailer

1998 never looked better

Sony unveiled the first trailer for the much-anticipated Resident Evil 2 Remake during its E3 press event today, confirming a release date of January 25, 2019.

Resident Evil 2 Remake follows Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they get caught up in the T-Virus outbreak in Raccoon City in September 1998.

The trailer shows off a slightly revamped look for both protagonists, although the rest of the game is very much Resi 2; there's the RPD, zombies, lickers, the ill-fated officer Marvin Branagh, and even Mr. X.
